Introduction
Global Warming is a phenomenon that threatens the quality of life, indeed life itself, and continued enjoyment of the fruits of modern civilization through the disturbance and destruction of the ecosystem that support it. At the centre is what energy resources we use and how we use them. This degree programme is designed to equip its students with the scientific, engineering, analytical, economic, and management skills necessary to participate in the promotion of a sustainable economy and sustainable living.
